I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at William Blair (Athens, GA) in Nov 2015
Interview
in person, 30 minutes interview with a senior level manager. Asked typical technical questions you'll find in your vault guide (nothing terribly unusual), a few behavioral questions to learn more about you. Like any investment banking position, you're better off if you fall into one (or all of) the above categories: High GPA, target school, diversity candidate, found the cure for cancer, solved world hunger, and single-handedly facilitated world peace. If you've managed to complete all of the above, you might possibly have a shot at a summer analyst position.
A mix of Behav and technicals, pretty easy, and luckily got a nice interviewer. Can tell they’ve got goood culture. Chicago office, waiting for the next step of the process
I interviewed at William Blair (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
Phone call Screening and then a 1st round and finally 4 30 minute interviews for the superday. It was challenging but not the hardest of interviews to be completely honest.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at William Blair (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2025
Interview
First round and super day. Spoke to an analyst over zoom. Pretty basic questions mainly behavioral and then a followed by straightforward and standard technicals. Focus was mainly on valuation and LBO mechanics.
